Poetry is just real life shitposting and anyone who argues is either a poet or a shitposter

philosophy-----literature------poetry

How do you get to the point where you can write consistently good prose without editing neurotically?
When you stop posting on /lit/ for once
You don't. Writing is work, hard work.
Write with your ears.
Is there a more anti-pornography writer than this man? GR, Inherent Vice, Bleeding Edge are the most anti-pornography works I've ever read.

pornography can be seen as the "entertainment"

"It should be forbidden to read the Zhuangzi before 30 years old, because in life one has to read certain books and Zhuangzi is a book so wonderful that anything you read after will seem deceiving" Jacques PIMPANEAU
I found it being 28 and I can say this is true. This nigga is the chinese Witgenstein only that its not just philososphy.
Go read it NOW and throw all your other books.
>"Once upon a time, Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting about happily enjoying himself. He did not know that he was Zhou. Suddenly he awoke, and was palpably Zhou. He did not know whether he was Zhou, who had dreamed of being a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming that he was Zhou. Now, there must be a difference between Zhou and the butterfly. This is called the transformation of things."
MOM'S GONNA FREAK
But I'm not 30

Great quote OP. Zhuangzi alone is worth learning Chinese for.
Paul Rouzer's New Practical Primer of Literary Chinese culminates in the reading of a whole chapter from Zhuangzi.

What do you make of all this recent talk of the “canonical problem”?
BLOOM
It is no more than a reflection of current academic and social politics in the United States. The old test for what makes a work canonical is if it has engendered strong readings that come after it, whether as overt interpretations or implicitly interpretive forms. There’s no way the gender and power boys and girls, or the New Historicists, or any of the current set are going to give us new canonical works, any more than all the agitation of feminist writing or nowadays what seems to be called African American writing is going to give us canonical works. Alice Walker is not going to be a canonical poet no matter how many lemmings stand forth and proclaim her sublimity. It really does seem to me a kind of bogus issue. I am more and more certain that a great deal of what now passes for literary study of the so-called politically correct variety will wash aside. It is a ripple. I give it five years. I have seen many fashions come and go since I first took up literary study. After forty years one begins to be able to distinguish an ephemeral surface ripple from a deeper current or an authentic change.
>i give it 5 years
>he said this 25 years ago
What went wrong?
>>7741286
he overestimated the normies. the colleges are a breeding ground, and they have yet to be cleansed.
No it came back. There was a rise of PC culture in the mid 80's lasted into the first part of the 90's.
>>7741286
While American PC Culture reeks (IE the current Oscar scandal where blacks are all but saying there must be a black actor voted in to keep everything fair, regardless of quality), things like the Man Booker International are a good thing.
For all that good Harold reads, it mostly seems to be high English. The Man Booker International may well seek to overturn canon as Camus did in the 60s and 70s by showing the American public foreign film, or at least I hope so.
Also, this wave of PCism is dying, see the success of Trump. Without discussing his merits or otherwise, 50% of the United States just wants to shit in the mouth of PC warriors. It is definitely evident of a reaction.
